DISCUSSION1. Is “You” male or female? How do you know that? Male. Because Ahmed Aziz shakes hands with him but simply nods at the girls. 2. What can we learn from the passage? It’s very important for us learners to understand our own body language and that of others. We should keep in mind that cultural behaviour must be understood and that usually it is not intended to be impolite.

? The first person who arrives is Mr. Garcia from Columbia, closely ________by followed Julia Smith from Britain. When they are introduced to each other, Mr.Garcia touches approaches Ms Smith, ______ her shoulder kisses and _______her on the cheek . Ms Smith steps back appearing surprised. The visitor from Japan comes in smiling at the same time as George Cook from Canada. As they reaches are introduced, Mr. Cook _______ his hand out to the Japanese who bows . His nose ____ touches Mr. Cook’s moving hand, and apologize they both ________.

These are examples of learned or cultural “body language”. Not all cultures ______ greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable touching or _______ between distance people. In the same way that people ___________ with spoken communicate language, they also _______ their feelings express using unspoken “language” through keeping physical distance, actions or posture.
